Patent CA-2189079-A1 (CA)
Title: Customized life insurance
Inventor: SWANICK GLENN ROBERT
IPC: B42D15/00
Filed: 1996-10-29
Abstract: A Customized Life Insurance policy is a life insurance policy which provides a unique schedule of death benefits and a unique schedule of cash surrender nonforfeiture benefits (sometimes referred to as "cash values"). The schedules are selected and agreed upon by the insurance company (hereinafter referred to as the "Insurer") providing the Customized Life Insurance policy and by the Policyholder ("Policyholder" as used herein includes an owner of a life insurance policy and a person in the process of purchasing or considering the purchase of a life insurance policy) and are unique to that policy. The schedules are unique in that they are, except by coincidence, different from those for any other policy provided by the Insurer. The schedules may, by design or coincidence, be the same as those for a policy provided by another insurance company.   The schedule of death benefits defines for each point in time in the future the death benefit expected to be paid should the life insured die at that point in time. The schedule of cash surrender nonforfeiture benefits defines for each point in time in the future the cash amount expected to be payable should the insurance coverage be terminated at that time. To date, schedules of death benefits and cash surrender nonforfeiture benefits in life insurance policies have been determined by classes of lives insured and/or by formulae defined by insurance companies. Customized schedules for which Policyholders participate in the determination have not been offered.

Title: Silicone foam control agents for hydrocarbon liquids
Inventor: BATTICE DAVID ROBERT
IPC: C08L71/02
Filed: 1997-01-13
Abstract: The present invention claims an organopolysiloxane compound having at least one group having the formula (see fig. I) wherein R3 is a divalent hydrocarbon group having from 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R5 and R6 are selected from a hydrogen atom or a group having the formula -(CnH2n+1) where n has a value from 1 to 30, R4 is selected from hydrogen atom, alkyl group or aryl group, d has a value from 0 to 150 and e has a value from 0 to 150, with the proviso that the value of d+e is greater than zero.  These compounds reduce the amount of foam in hydrocarbon fuels, especially in diesel or jet fuels.  Our organopolysiloxane compounds function as foam control agents which display consistent compatibility and miscibility with other fuel additives which are frequently present in hydrocarbon fuels.

Patent CA-2201024-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STOYKE ECKHART A
IPC: E06B3/28
Filed: 1997-03-26
Abstract: Double glazed windows represent the area of greatest heat loss in the outer skin of buildings. Existing methods to reduce the heat loss of windows by means of retrofit widows are costly or cumbersome to install or unsightly or require professional assistance for their installation. The addition of a secondary interior window according to this invention will add up to 3 additional dead air spaces created by window foils that will reduce the heat loss by a factor of up to 5. In environments where damage of the foils may be expected, a solid pane of glass or acrylic is used to protect the foils from damage. In hot climates the secondary interior window acts to reduce the cooling load. In  its  simplest  and most economic configuration a  secondary interior  window incudes a rectangular frame having a first face, a second face,  and an exterior peripheral edge.  A peripheral groove is disposed along   the exterior peripheral edge of the rectangular frame.  A sheet of transparent polymer plastic is stretched across  the  first  face and the  second  face of  the rectangular  frame  and  disposed  in  a  peripheral  groove.  A compressible retainer is embedded in the peripheral groove thereby - preventing withdrawal of  the  sheet  of  transparent polymer plastic from the groove and securing the sheet of polymer plastic to the frame, - securing the secondary window frame within an interior window cavity  since  the  compressible  retainer  protrudes  from  the peripheral groove, thereby providing an exterior friction member, - providing an air seal between the secondary interior window and the inner window pane.

Title: An improved temperature compensated electrochemical gas sensor and method for closely tracking the temperature variations of a gas to be sensed
Inventor: AKMAL NAIM
IPC: G01N27/26
Filed: 1997-07-08

Title: Method and apparatus for stripper bar rotation
Inventor: ROZANSKY JOSEPH
IPC: G03G15/00
Filed: 1997-07-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a novel method and apparatus for rotating a stripper bar associated with a paper path.

Title: Radio tracking system and method of operation thereof
Inventor: CAMPANA THOMAS J JR
IPC: H04W88/02
Filed: 1996-02-23
Abstract: A radio tracking system (10) and method of operation thereof are disclosed.      A small hand holdable radio tracking receiver (12) monitors a distance between the receiver and a plurality of radio transmitters (14, 16, 18) relative to a set range (20). When any of the transmitters exceed the set range, an alarm is generated by the receiver which enables the user (600) to switch the receiver from an omnidirectional receiving mode to a directional receiving mode. The received signal strength is displayed on a display (24) to enable the user to point the receiver in the direction from which the maximum signal strength is being received which enables the user to locate and move towards the transmitter which has exceeded the set range. A transmitter user may origninate an alarm to enable the receiver user to locate the transmitter which originated the alarm.
Patent CA-2212569-A1 (CA)
Title: Toilet paper or paper towel dispenser
Inventor: HARMATHY TIBOR ZOLTAN
IPC: A47K10/38
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: This invention relates to a device, which offers a person the convenience of tearing off with one hand any length of a flexible sheet material, typically toilet paper or kitchen towel, from a roll at a line of weakness (perforation) in the sheet. The device consists of two main parts: a stable "cradle" and a movable "pallet." The cradle is made up of a back plate whereby it is fastened to a solid surface, two side plates between the roll is held, possibly a bottom plate on which (with the most practical embodiment of the invention) the roll rests, and a "lower jaw bar." The pallet is rotatably attached to the side plates of the cradle. It has two cross bars: the "upper jaw bar" and the "press bar." In preparing for use, the free end of the sheet material is passed through the gap between the upper jaw bar and the press bar of the pallet in such a way that the upper jaw bar lies above and the press bar below the sheet; then the roll is installed in the cradle. Pulling the free end of the sheet away from the roll will cause the upper jaw bar to lift away from the lower jaw bar, thus any length of the sheet material can be freely unwound from the roll. By shifting the direction of the pull toward the lower jaw bar, the pressure on the press bar will force the upper jaw bar against the lower jaw bar, and thus prevent further material from unwinding from the roll. Increasing the pull, any length of the material outside the press bar can be separated from the roll along a line of weakness in the sheet.

Patent CA-2219266-A1 (CA)
Title: Qpsk modulated backscatter system
Inventor: MACLELLAN JOHN AUSTIN
IPC: H04L27/233
Filed: 1997-10-23
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, a duplex radio communication system comprises an Interrogator which generates a radio signal to at least one remote Tag. The remote Tag receives the radio signal. The Tag then generates a subcarrier signal, and using Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK), modulates an information signal onto the subcarrier. A Backscatter Modulator, using this modulated subcarrier, modulates the reflection of the radio signal, the reflected signal being a reflected modulated signal. The Interrogator receives and demodulates the reflected modulated signal to obtain the information signal. In one embodiment, demodulation utilizes a homodyne detector. In another embodiment, the Interrogator modulates an information signal onto the radio signal, transmits that modulated radio signal to the Tag, and the Tag demodulates that modulated radio signal to recover the information signal. In another embodiment, higher order phase modulations are used to modulate an information signal onto the subcarrier.
